Does my bum look big in this?

Three sessions of Victorian Day workshops today and here you can see S, one of the team 'waddling' in the bustled costume! You'll be pleased to read that the bustle did disappear, mainly because one can't actually sit down with it on! We have an actual Victorian cane and its amazed me to see how some people's character can change when they have a cane in their hand

I have at last heard from my friend in France and everyone is ok. What a relief.
